Abstract :
Sleep apnea is one of the common problem in world. Sleep apnea is generally known as interruption of breathing while sleeping. Every year 4% of the population are dying due to sleep apnea. The inspiration of this project is to find an efficient method for analyzing an " ECG Signal "which has good accuracy and less computation time. This paper deals with the study of ECG signal processing and analysis by means of MATLAB tool. With the help of this analysis further we implement in hardware. The apnea monitoring is used to recognize obstructive sleep apnea episodes.
